so the way this went was up in bed this morning after second coffee. only paper sticky notes (pink) sitting quiet spacey then this came first the tongues then other bits. Now I’ll transcribe into first ruff draft. this time using keyboard. sometimes a yellow pad is the first transcription. Sometimes there is only one sometimes there are many edits, the number depends on my things but mostly on my self. some photos of the original notes as you may see it is part of the illegible scribble that is an integral part of the process .
So the first bit =
And she said look
And I did seeing the play of sunlight slip
along the green hills a silver streak above the valley
a river mirroring catching sapphires between the roiling cumulus clouds….
SO Right away i notice too many the’s breaking up the image. Also I need to look up cumulus to make sure hos are the clouds I want… lets try it this way ~
she said look so I did seeing the play of sunlight slip
along green hills a silver streak along the valley
a river mirroring, catching sapphires from between cumulus clouds
Or Wait Maybe This ?

So as you can tell or if not let me tell you it is a longish process sometimes. Anyway here’s the rest a first ruff ~
How the Goddess of Wisdom Taught Me the Tarantella
she said look so I did seeing the play of sunlight slip
along green hills a silver streak along the valley
a river mirroring, catching sapphires from between the cumulus
she said sing
so i offered
breathless wordless a what else can i do but be true refrain
from the tiredness of my bones
not syllables of warm water mouths
rather emanate rich with marrow silent sensations
hot cold
soft foetal
crescents of your ears
depth deeper than you know of your eyes
the vast rift of tears
your endless heart
alone sometimes in the dark
I have been a labour for you
silently aloud
likewise you should read
these words so unlike other words
each window through which invisible creatures
of what cannot be said climb
Sometimes in this writing life people take the time to listen, read and let me know they did sometimes even write a few words in response ~ As writing is by its nature a predominately isolation occupation I just wanted to express sincere gratitude to each and every one who in one way or another participated with PD Lyons Explorations.
With best wishes to you all for a very happy, healthy & safe New Year! Cheers!
